Scotch Curbside Recyclable Padded Mailer vs Staples EasyClose Poly Bubble Mailers #5

Pick the Scotch mailer if curbside recyclability is the priority and you ship in volume. Pick the Staples mailer if you want proven protection for fragile items and a closure shoppers rate highly. The Scotch is paper-based with a self-adhesive strip and comes as a case of 100, but its 4.1 rating from 27 ratings is thin and the padding is paper, not bubble. The Staples has 3/16-inch bubble cushioning, water and tear resistance, and a 4.7 rating from 356 ratings, but it is poly and only 10% recycled.

• Choose the Scotch Curbside Recyclable Padded Mailer if you want a paper mailer the recipient can recycle at the curb and you go through mailers fast enough to buy a case of 100.
• Choose the Staples EasyClose Poly Bubble Mailer if you ship fragile or breakable items and want bubble cushioning, water resistance and a peel-and-seal closure with a long track record of owner ratings.
